Description

Collected here in this omnibus edition are three influential autobiographies of prominent men who rose up from slavery to greatness.

Essential reading for anyone interested in African American Heritage.

Included are Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington, Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass.

Up from Slavery is one of the most influential biographies ever written.

On one level it is the life story of Booker T. Washington and his rise from slavery to accomplished educator and activist.

On another level it the story of how an entire race strove to better itself.

Washington was constantly, and often bitterly, criticized by his contemporaries for being too conciliatory to whites and not concerned enough about civil rights.

It would not be until after his death that the world would find out that he had indeed worked a great deal for civil rights anonymously behind the scenes.

Twelve Years a Slave is the harrowing true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man living in New York.

He was kidnaped by unscrupulous slave hunters and sold into slavery where he endured unimaginable degradation and abuse until his rescue twelve years later.

A powerful and riveting condemnation of American slavery.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is one of the most influential autobiographies ever written.

This classic did as much as or more than any other book to motivate the abolitionist to continue to fight for freedom in American.

Frederick Douglass was born a slave, he escaped a brutal system, and through sheer force of will educated himself and became an abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman, and reformer.

This is one of the most unlikely and powerful success stories ever written.
